I Am Teaching Horseback Riding Lessons...?These two girls are both 11 yrs old and have been Riding since they were 4. They are very good and can do almost anything I ask them. So far I have been working on transitions with them, slowing down for western, patterns, and they love barrels. My question is, what other kind of games can I play with them? There are only two of them, so musical poles is out. I have already played Simen Says, western patterns, and weaving in and out of poles.

The games I am still thinking of doing is: Red Light Green Light Races Circle of Death (put 4 poles in a circle and have them trot around it staying within the circle) [ Read More ]
